Every Extend Extra Extreme, also known as E4, is a game for the Xbox 360
's Xbox Live Arcade
service released on October 17, 2007 for 800 Microsoft Points
($10). It is an expanded version of the popular PlayStation Portable
game Every Extend Extra
which is, in itself, an expanded version of the 2004 freeware title Every Extend.
The game runs in high-definition 1080i
and supports 5.1 surround sound
. It supports online multiplayer; Achievements; Leaderboards and GamerScore support; and online competitive modes.
Gameplay is simple: the player controls a ship which they can detonate at any time. This causes any enemies within a certain radius to explode, which in turn cause other enemies to explode in a chain reaction
. As the game continues more and more enemies populate the screen allowing longer and higher scoring explosions. The player may halt the chain at any time to pick up power-ups (such as to increase enemy speed, add time, add temporary shield) or to start a new chain reaction.
The explosions add a percussive beat to the background music.
The player's ship is destroyed when coming into contact with or being shot by an enemy while the player's shields are down. This resets the level to its initial slow pace and bonus multiplier, therefore hindering the player's scoring.
